English Description
2 Plate Heat Exchanger

EN
Function
The plate heat exchanger consists of a pack of
corrugated metal plates with portholes for the pas-
sage of the two fluids between which heat transfer
will take place.
The plate pack is assembled between a frame
plate and a pressure plate and compressed by
tightening bolts. The plates are fitted with a gasket
which seals the channel and directs the fluids into
alternate channels. The plate corrugation pro-
motes fluid turbulence and supports the plates
against differential pressure.
Semi-welded PHE
For certain plate sizes there are semi-welded
plates (Cassettes) available. The function of the
semi-welded PHE is the same as that of the con-
ventional PHE. Chapters Installation and Opera-
tion of this manual are applicable to full extent.
Chapter Maintenance is fully applicable when it
comes to the parts Cleaning-in-Place and Pres-
sure test after maintenance and partially applica-
ble for the remaining part. To cover the specific
requirements of the semi-welded PHE a separate
additional manual has been made.
